Elmo is a 7 pound, healthy, 10-year-old neutered and house trained male. He gets along ok with his foster brothers and sister, but he would prefer to be in a home where he can be king of the manner without any other dogs, or where he can at least be the alpha dog.

He was quite scared when he first came into rescue, but within a couple of days he relaxed and became extremely attached to his foster dad.  The right family would need to be a little bit patient and willing to give Elmo a week or so for him to get used to his new surroundings.

While he is 10, he still has a little bit of "puppy" in him when the mood
strikes him just right.  He doesn't seem to really like toys, but when he is in the right mood he loves to run around and play chase.

He loves to be near us and insists on sleeping under the covers right next to us. He also likes napping on a pillow (under a blanket, of course!)or on the couch.

He isn't used to climbing stairs, but we're working on that. He can climb
them, but is still a little scared to do so. He gets a little bit more confidence each time he uses them.
